Important Information
!WARNING
General
1.The cooktop must be installed and/or repaired by an authorized installer or servicer.
2.Never use the cooktop for warming or heating the room.
3.Do not store items on the cooktop. Items stored on the cooktop can become too hot and melt.
4.Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using cooktop.
5.Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop yourself unless it is recommended in this manual.
6.Flammable materials should not be stored near cooktop.
7.Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let a potholder touch an element. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth as a potholder.
Surface Cooking
1.Use the proper pan size. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the element. Undersized utensils will expose the element to direct contact with clothing.
2.Never leave surface units unattended. Boilovers can cause smoking and may ignite.
3.To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials or spillage due to unintentional contact, utensil handles must be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface.
4.Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. Unsuitable utensils may break due to the sudden temperature change.
5.Clean cooktop with caution. To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spills on a hot cooking area.
6.Do not place aluminum foil or foods packaged in aluminum foil directly on element.
!WARNING
Safety Procedures

Surface Element Fires
1.Do not turn on the vent hood. The fan can spread the flames.
2.If it is safe to do so, turn the surface element to OFF. Turn off main electrical supply.
3.Smother the fire with nonflammable lid or use a Class “ABC” or “BC” fire extinguisher. Do not use water on a grease fire.
